Fox: Standing blaster against lvl 9s until the shield broke, then charge fsmash, repeat

ROFL i remember that, i got through half of 1 player mode that way
i remember when you fought giant DK (in story mode or classic i dont remember which) on jungle japes and did a standing blaster, he'd always airdodge himself to death

 

[SuperWildYoshi]

Cool Thread, brings back memories of old day Smash.
Anyways I used to be Link and always use the Up-B move and thought it was the best move in the game. I also remember my friends always using Roy because they thought he owned more then anyone else.

And Fox using the blaster stationary against Lvl 9 CPU's till their health was at 70% or higher and just U-Smash them.

 

[Tee ay eye]

Sheik: fsmash dsmash usmash usmash

Yeah, you were doing it all wrong. It's supposed to be ftilt ftilt ftilt ftilt ftilt dsmash dsmash dsmash dsmash ftilt slap

Marth: fsmash

What's wrong with this? ^__^

 

[choknater]

rolling fsmash marths were tooooo good

 

[Vyse]

In the early days I worshipped Bomb-Soldier.




Wait, I still do : 3
rofl.

 

[Matux]

downthrow d-smash with falco on hyrule in the lower part of the stage, we allways considered it as cheating, but I still did it I can remember very very very angry friends xD.

and srly ROYs f-samsh BAM!!!! it brings the apocalypse

oh jesus we had a name for every attack:
best example is the downair of
ganon, cf, dk, samus we always said buk !! because it sounds like buk!! xD

 

[MyNameIsRyan]

I would pick 64 Mushroom Kingsom and costantly go through the pipes. It was sooooo fun

 

[Tony_]

Roy F-Smash a crap load.

 

[Darth Waffles]

Roy F-Smash a crap load.

I only did that when the opponent was off the edge. I didn't know what edgeguarding was, but I loved Roy, because he was so good in 1-player modes. I could hold the B button down and wait for my unsuspecting CPU opponents on very hard to walk right into it so that I could hit them. Then came the barrage of fsmashes and charged flare blades. I was so good back then.

 

[TheManaLord]

No items marth v roy a lot.

Using tournament mode.

 

[Spife]

I played Link....
I still play Link....
hmmm That should tell me something..

I also played temple (a lot) and up-b spammed a lot and played an 89 minute match on Poke'floats to unlock mewtwo (I was ganon vs a lvl 9 mario)
Oh and thinking that cause I could take on a lvl 9 roy and marth against link means he's not as bad as people on gamefaqs were saying he was

 

[remyx]

I used to raptor boost->up b with captain falcon and kirbycide.Good times

 

[The Star King]

I used fox and spammed drill -> shine (no l-cancel), dash attack -> up tilt -> up air, and d-throw -> d-tilt -> up-air. All of these are easy to escape now, but back then we didn't know anything, lol.

Oh, and we thought lvl 9 computers = god.

 

[CableCho57]

roy was better than marth, fox and falco were EXACTLY the same so it seemed, you had to learn shiek and zelda equally to be good, and rolling with c-stick spam. lol

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I never even used the C-stick since 99% of my time was in one player mode...I still don't use the C-stick.

 

[Binx]

You guys remember hitting people off the stage and then doing repeated standing lasers with falco?

 

[OmegaXXII]

I never even used the C-stick since 99% of my time was in one player mode...I still don't use the C-stick.

Agreed!

in my early days, I rarely knew of it's function, even though I know of it now I rarely use it though, almost never.

 

[tickytoc]

4 people. 10 stocks. items on. i was always dk. my friend was usually roy and i would punch him in his arm every time he countered my dk super punch. that would piss me off sooooo bad cause it thought i had him. always played on corneria and hyrule like eveyone else lol. also the mad dashes for pokeballs was always the highlight of any match and it felt sooo good when you got a legendary bird

ahhh so many memories

 

[IrArby]

I used to main Link and not realize that I could easily beat my counter happy Marth-maining friend by hitting the Z button occasionally. Then we'd Falco ditto and try to trick each other into walking into Fsmashes. Also, when challenger M2 first appeared I actually lost the first time. The shame . . .

 

[Mew2King]

wtf I forgot I even made this thread LOL

 

[SleepyK]

stop doing drugs jason

 

[smash superstar]

So many good memories


I remember I used to think Young Link was a beast since he was faster than regular Link and had similar moves to him

Then I went to my first tournament and got beat by a Roy, and did not see any Marths there, so i figured Roy was better so I picked up Roy.
By the time I got to go to another tournament Fox, Marth, Falco, ect...started to become the hot thing and I got beat by a Fox using my Roy, so then I picked up Fox, just because of his reflector.

Oh how we learn from past mistakes =)

 

[Jimnymebob]

I spent most of Melee as Marth fighting Roy to unlock Mewtwo lol. Noone played Melee with me, so I only played 1 player.
I used to spam rest, judgement, and G&W aerial attacks lol.

I also played an hour long FFA as Jigglypuff against Lvl3 Ness, Dr. Mario, and Ice Climbers on Rainbow Ride. I ended up with around 100+ KO's, and around 7 losses, because I could fly around the stage.

 

[CluelessBTD]

I always used fox with items on and always picked big stages so I could run away, throw an item at someone, repeat. I was unstoppable, lol

 

[Da Shuffla]

Throwing a home run bat at a recovering opponent. Funniest. Edgeguard. Ever. Or, placing a motion sensor bomb on the edge. Ahh....items.

 

[iMichael]

Mained Mewtwo and thought I was pro while doing so and was on youtube one day and happened to run into a combo vid (not gonna say whose) but yeah it changed my ways lol......I thought Mewtwo was unstoppable ^_^

 

[Nizro]

Don't remember much, I guess we all did the same things, Tried out items for some time, Took them off, learned to play advanced without L cancel and WD, Sought out for more knowledge, saw videos, Learned and played better people and then became tournament people ^^

Let's face it, We all adored Ken and Isai at some point and we still do, for all they did for the smash scene

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

CC dtilt with Falco against lvl 9s.

Yeahhh...

 

[Pink Reaper]

I just spammed Utilts and Bair with Kirby. Now I spam Utilts and Bair with Kirby.

 

[Kevin]

in the early days i used to be good

 

[Da Shuffla]

I used to be good, too. Till I saw my first pro match. "How do they move so fast?!"

Also, back in the day, I used to pick Falco only to repeatedly Dair and do it again when they got off stage. Also, I liked doing the side B spike.

 

[OmegaXXII]

wtf I forgot I even made this thread LOL

Were you 'high' when you created this thread lol..

 

[HiddenBowser]

I used to walk around with falco and ftilt people a lot.

 

[G@BE]

I played marth and Sethlon and I would play nothing but Hyrule and Final Destination. Running really quick towards someone and then rolling behind them was the most advanced tactic we knew... o_O

 

[Zantetsu]

Oh my god, they put Bowser in! I bet he's the best!

-First words that ever came out of my mouth when I first played melee. It was a 4 player ffa on pokemon stadium.

 

[S.R. XXVII]

I used Royback then, and called Marth gay.
I also used to pick Samus, and spam the **** outta of the missiles. Wait. I do that now.

 

[halcyon.days]

I would pick Marth and would basically just spotdodge/fsmash.

 

[Keblerelf]

One of the reasons why I thought shiek was so good was because of her chain.

 

[DarkRenji]

I picked Falco and used side-B all day long.
